Returns

We 'Company' endeavors to photograph all stock accurately and to provide accurate descriptions and dimensions. We have a showroom open 5 days a week and we encourage customers to come and view our stock in person if they have any doubt as to fitness for purpose. However UK law requires us to be bound by the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. These regulations grant UK domestic buyers a right to cancel the order and return the goods within a period of 7 working days from the day on which they received the goods. The buyer must inform us by letter or email of their intention to cancel the order within this 7 day period in order for the Distance Selling Regulations to apply. If you cancel the contract orally, you will need to confirm the oral cancellation in writing and send it to us by one of the means specified within the above mentioned 7 day period. Once you have cancelled the contract, you have a legal 'duty of care' to take care of the goods. A full refund of goods will be issued after the buyer has arranged for the return of the cancelled goods at their own expense. The buyer is duty bound to return the goods in the same condition in which the goods were received. In cases where we undertake bespoke work on the Buyer's behalf, all cancellation rights will end at the point of order. Please note that we do not take returns from business customers or on international transactions, these not being covered by the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
